A fresh collection of T206 was just consigned

Hi everyone. Saw this and thought I'd pass along.

"A fresh collection of T206 cards was just consigned. The original owner collected these as a kid at the time of release. They were consigned by his grandchildren."

Imagine running into those at a garage sale? How big of heart attack would you have? Um Sir what are you asking for the binder of tobacco cards?

The OP has posted fifteen times since 2013! He probably won't read these replies until next year!

The color on these is extremely bold. Beautiful images!

I think I'd assume they were reprints since the colors are so bold. It would take a bit to believe what I was seeing was real.

Is it just me, or do so many of those cards look like they have been made smaller? Check all the photos of the cards in the link. The group has so few cards that have larger borders, and a large chunk look on the small side. If this is indeed an original collection, what happened to cards that look fuller like this?

Did Grandpa toss anything that seemed to him to be dangerously oversized?

That's the way any proper collection of cards has looked since the 1970's.

Whiter than white!

Cobb's look perfectly centered, I'd like to know the size of these cards.

These cards are "normal" sized for t206. kinda scary to imagine how many altered t206's are entombed.

Just based on how nice the colors are I'd say they are all real. But damn those borders look Pearl White for their age.

That was posted on reddit by one of the Heritage guys...Jason. He posts pretty regularly on reddit. I'd assume if he is posting it, it is legit.

I have no doubt that these are authentic T206 cards. I just question their almost uniform, smallish size and believe they might possibly have been altered in the past to make them look like that.

It would be beneficial to see larger images of the cards.
